Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially bad during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect my fertility. Also, I'm extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts. Could pelvic fluid accumulation cause brown discharge?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic effusion refers to inflammatory exudate in the pelvic cavity. It can occur after endometritis, where slightly viscous fluid seeps out from swollen cells in the endometrial tissue, gradually forming a cystic mass as it is tightly enclosed by surrounding tissues. If left untreated, it can slowly grow larger. If it becomes too large, medication cannot completely eliminate it, and surgery may be required. Pelvic effusion can be completely cured, but effective treatment must be based on identifying the causative pathogen.
